Senior Glo Ups: Freshman Year to Now
April 8, 2019
The four years at AHN seem to fly by and physical changes often go unnoticed, until old pictures are compared. Through the years girls glo up both physically and mentally. After looking at old pictures, girls often cringe at their fashion sense, or their physical appearance, and are able to appreciate the ways they have matured during their time at AHN. Below are some of the best glo ups from the class of 2019.
Fallon Flaharty
Fallon Flaharty (’19) says “I am so glad that I have changed since freshman year. When I look back, I looked so baby and I forget that I was like that just a few years ago.”
Brianna Benito
Senior Brianna Benito says, “I think that my skin and teeth have really changed since freshman year, since I took medicine for my face and got my braces off. When I look at old pictures of myself and I get embarrassed, but then I think they’re sweet since I was so young looking and look so much different from today.”

Alondra Quinones
Quinones said, “When I think back on freshman year I don’t imagine me look different than I am now, but wen I see the pictures it’s crazy to see how different I did look back then.”
Gracie Jones
Jones got her braces off freshman year, which is what sparked her glo up.
“I looked so bad freshman year, and when I look at old pictures, I laugh so hard,” says Jones.
Chloe Kruszewski
“When I look at myself from freshman year to now I feel like I have matured a lot into my face. Some of the things I notice most are how I used to have brace and how much darker my hair used to be.”
